My 1st easy recipe- Bhoplyacha Bharit (Red Pumpkin Salad)


It is a typical Maharashtrian dish.

You need following: 
Laal Bhopla (Red Pumpkin) 250 gms
Dahi (Curd) 1 cup
Jeera (Cumin seeds) or Raai/Mohri (Mustard Seeds)
Lal tikhat (Red Chilly powder-optional)
 Halad (Turmeric), 
Kadhi patta(Curry leaves),
Hirvi Mirchi (Green chilly)
Sugar,Salt and oil.

Peel and cook the cubes of pumpkin in pressure cooker. 
Take them out and crush them well and add curd, salt, sugar, red chilly powder and turmeric powder to it.

Tempering (Tadka)-Heat some oil in pan, add cumin seeds/mustard seeds, green chilly pieces and curry leaves.  Add this to the pumpkin-curd mixture and serve with Poli/Roti/ bread.
